Knitted Goodies

Fab knitted creations from UK label, Sibling. Knitted DENIM jacket, like how cool is that? And optical illusions with lines to create skull images. Great stuff.

Blazers & Layers

The pairing of a well-fitted blazer with jeans is such an effortless way to style your overall look. Check out how the purple socks 'peeping' from under his jeans matches his striped shirt 'peeping' out from his vest.

Wearing multiple colours in one outfit and making sure it goes well together is no easy task. I'm actually rather sure many (guys in Singapore at least) would not think of pairing purple with green, although this set of colours are one of the lesser known colour combinations that go really well together. The coloured stripes in the jacket also matches the purple and green perfectly.

I have been into this whole layering concept for awhile now and is still embracing it very much. This outfit I like particularly coz of the layering involved in the whole look. Likewise for the two other looks above. Even though there are different lengths of layers involved here, the colours and minimal accessorizing helped to bring the whole look together instead of making it potentially awkward looking.

The Vintage Bag

This guy was carrying his mum's vintage leather bag. The subtle detailing on the flap makes this vintage piece look alittle more special.

It's about time to cast the spotlight on these Chinese designers. All four have already earn many fans in the fashion world and even Michelle Obama is a fan of one of them. The interview comprise of mainly quotes from each designer about their views on China being a predominant fashion market not to be overlooked, their own influences & inspirations and how their successes might help change the traditional mindsets of Chinese parents.

From Runway To Street 001

Raf Simons Jacket from Spring 2009 RTW.

Thinking if I should start doing this 'From Runway To Street' comparison thing. It might be interesting to see how the average person on the street wear the looks off the runway according to their own style. More ideas for mixing designer with street labels no?

The Colour Question

(Drop Snap)

When you spot something multi-coloured like the above, what would be your first thought? I would think most would associate clowns with multi-coloured clothing? I know of people who stick to just one (usually black/white) or just a few colours simply because they feel they look good in them and perhaps those are their lucky colours. I love most colours and am proud to say I have at least one piece of clothing in every single colour of the rainbow. Haha.  

I would totally wear the graffiti-ish coloured jacket on the right but not so much the shirt on the left.
